My personal preference would be anything Perdomo The reasons are : When I think about a cigar I would have every day I do think about flavour , of course , but also construction and quality control , so it would have a good burn , perfect draw and wouldn't require puffing so often . Perdomos are the only ones I buy by the box exactly because of that

Everytime I went to Cuba I used to bring two or three boxes of cigars with me. Cuban cigars are put on the market to soon so they need to age a lot. A few days ago I smoked a Bolivar Royal Corona which dates from 2009. Five years ago it was very good but this time i noticed that it has evolved into ultimate perfection.... And I have 19 left in the box at this right moment. This is what makes me a very happy guy after 12 years of patience !!!! The cigar also reminds me of the good times there years ago.

My first cigaar was the la aurora perfecto saphire. Smoked with my dad got him an emerald. He taught me how to smoke cigars even though he didnt really smoke only socially. So those will always hold a special place for me. Then it was padron when i got into the darker leaves. Now I’m all about broadleafs. Aj Fernandez makes a fire cigar. Every cigar he touches is gold. I’m currently smoking The Tabernacle Esteli-Nicaragua in toro. For me if i was buying a box. They would have to be Toros or churchhills. I wouldn’t justify a robusto if there is a toro for just a couple bucks more. So that’s my two cents. And of course I’m getting them from Cigars Daily.

Tim makes a good point... so many great samplers out there that my buddy and I have been plowing through multiple lines from multiple manufacturers since we started the hobby in 2020. Rough guesstimate is probably 75 different lines from over 25 different manufacturers. And we're still trying new sticks all the time. We usually only smoke once a week or so on the weekend, with an occasional weeknight tossed in on special occasions like the World Series or some other event. As such, we don't go through cigars very fast. It isn't usually worth it to buy a whole box of something; however, we have split a box here and there. We've split a box of RyJ Reserva Real (red label) and the Nicaragua version of that stick (blue label), a box of RyJ 1875 Nicaragua (white band with orange trim), and a box of Oliva Master Blend 3.
